It took party president Mallikarjun Kharge nearly six months after he was authorised by the Raipur session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in February 2023 to finally announce the new CWC on Sunday, which also happened to be the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. While combining experience and youth, Mr. Kharge has <strong>drawn up (Make up plans or basic details for)<\/strong> a list that significantly enhances <strong>diversity (The condition or result of being changeable) <\/strong>in the party\u2019s highest decision-making body. His opponent in the 2022 election for the top post, Shashi Tharoor, finds a place, in a <strong>commendable (Worthy of high praise) <\/strong>appreciation of internal democracy, and an encouraging signal to many <strong>sceptics (Someone who habitually doubts accepted beliefs) <\/strong>of the party. Half the CWC, excluding invitees, are from Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, tribals, and minority communities or women, which meets the Udaipur ambition. But when invitees are <strong>accounted for (Be the reason or explanation for)<\/strong>, the social composition <strong>tilts (to direct (a discussion, policy, etc.) so as to favor a particular opinion or side) <\/strong>in favour of upper castes and minorities, even as it meets the \u201850 under 50\u2019 age criteria. A number of fresh faces from the middle <strong>rungs (a stage or degree in a scale, as of social acceptance) <\/strong>have made it to the list \u2014 former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, a Dalit leader at 60 and Kamleshwar Patel, the 49-year-old OBC leader from the election-bound Madhya Pradesh, are in, while Damodar Raja Narasimha, 64, from Telangana is a permanent invitee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Kharge has the unenviable task of exercising his authority while three members of the Gandhi family \u2014 Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka \u2014 remain active, but he appears to be up to it. The list reflects the party\u2019s keen attention to the upcoming Assembly elections in the heartland. Chhattisgarh Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu, an influential OBC leader, is expected to play a crucial role. In Rajasthan, while Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is <strong>given a free hand (give (someone) a free hand) means unrestricted freedom to act)<\/strong> to lead the charge, the induction of his challenger Sachin Pilot and tribal leader Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya to the CWC is expected to reinforce party unity. The party has tried to reassure discontented social groups and <strong>assuage (Cause to be more favourably inclined; gain the good will of) <\/strong>rebellious leaders in various States, and the constitution of the new body is largely representative of the geographical and social <strong>expanse (A wide and open space or area as of surface or land or sky) <\/strong>of India. Though some <strong>disenchantment (Disappointment on finding out that something is not as good as hoped, or that previous beliefs were false) <\/strong>might surface in the days ahead, the new CWC reflects both imagination and compromise. While this is a good start, there is more that the Congress needs to do to be truly representative of this diverse nation, besides strategising for elections and improving political communication and becoming the centre of gravity of Opposition politics in the <strong>run-up<\/strong> to 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve your word power with the help of these daily analysis of editorials published in prominent newspapers.
